  • 2017-09-16 Austin Day 3: A Well Balanced Life

    Last night we had a very casual Friday evening with the kids. We talked and played and watched a movie and then after they went to bed Rebecca and I sat out on the deck and continued chatting over a bottle of wine. I kept mine to just a few glasses because I’m really intending…

  • 2017-09-15 Austin Day 2: Connections and Perspective

    Yesterday I met with Jill and Jason and met their little darlings for the first time. They are friends of mine who I know because of Matt and that’s a story that repeats as people come together and break apart. New friendships are formed, others fade away. I wrote a poem last valentines day about…

  • 2017-09-14 Austin Day 1: Challenging My Limits

    I’ve been up since 4 and it’s not even 7pm but I’m wiped out. I had a really nice lunch with Rebecca and we covered a number of topics, all of which I know we will go deeper on over the next few days. That was followed by a wonderful afternoon catching up with Jill…

  • 2017-09-14 To Austin!

    Despite getting up ridiculously early, I’m in really good spirits. I’m headed for my home away from home. I’m headed to rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation with my Texas Bestie, Rebecca, and her lively crew. This is my second trip this year, the first being in mid-May. At that time I probably wrote all there is…

  • 2017-08-21 What I Would Do for Totality.. Apparently

    Be up over 36 hours straight. Suffer through a migraine. Suffer through a terrible hotel stay. Have the worst “free” hotel breakfast ever. Hours of waiting (this part wasn’t so bad before the eclipse because we were with friends). Stupid paper glasses (ok, now I’m just being a whiny bitch). Lack of proper nutrition (my…

  • 2017-08-21 The Very Worst Thing Ever

    As predicted after we hit about 2PM yesterday things just went as they went and it was all fine, mostly. Z convinced me to book a hotel in Lincoln at the last minute so we could be closer to our Eclipse destination and NOT have to stay in a tent. They (both kids) threatened mutiny…

  • 2017-08-12 Looking Forward

    It’s good to have a plan. It’s good to have things to look forward to. An event or a meet up or a vacation in the future that you can think about and be excited about. I’m a planner by nature and I love having things to look forward to. That’s probably why I am…

  • 2017-07-29 Untraveled Roads

    We traveled about two hours deeper into the heart of Nebraska to find a new place to play. We landed at the Island Oasis of Grand Island about 2:30PM. Shortly after that the kids disappeared. They dissolved into the wave pool and became one with the water. It’s 4:30 now and I’ve got my eyes…
